E3 2015: Disney Says Star Wars Will Never Come to LEGO Dimensions

Star Wars intellectual property will never make its way to Warner Bros. toy-to-life title LEGO Dimensions, Disney vice president of production John Vignocchi told IGN in an interview at E3 2015.

“Don’t count on it,” Vignocchi responded when asked if Star Wars will ever come to Lego Dimensions. He explained that introducing Star Wars to LEGO Dimensions would cannibalize the Disney Infinity business. Good for everyone except Disney Infinity.

Vignocchi added that Disney Infinity is truer to the filmmakers’ vision (at least in the playsets), the licensees don’t want franchises mixing together, which is the whole point of LEGO Dimensions (and the toy box mode in Disney Infinity).

LEGO Dimensions will offer a number of sets based on well-known franchises when it launches in September, such as The Simpsons, Doctor Who, Ghostbusters, Portal, Jurassic World, Midway Arcade, Scooby-Doo, DC Comics, The Lord of the Rings, The LEGO Movie, The Wizard of Oz, LEGO Ninjago and Back to the Future.

Disney yesterday announced that a limited edition Star Wars Saga Starter Pack featuring Boba Fett is coming exclusively to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Sony’s platforms will also get Star War Rise Against the Empire Play Set nearly a month before other platforms.

When a mysterious and powerful vortex suddenly appears in various LEGO lands, heroes find themselves swept away and lost in each other's LEGO universes. Let creativity be the guide to a building and gaming adventure on a quest across the LEGOscape.
